Smuckers Could Get Great Economic Incentives For Plant In Colorado
LONGMONT, Colo. (CBS4) - The Longmont City Council has approved an economic incentive package to Smuckers for a new planned factory.
The J.M. Smucker Co. will build an Uncrustables sandwiches manufacturing facility in Longmont.
The deal would give Smuckers more than $6 million in rebates on taxes and permit fees. In exchange, the company would have to pay employees an average of $48,000 a year.
The proposal still has to make it past another vote, which will happen at the end of the month.
